Aeris technologies developed the MIRA gas analyzer series for industrial gas monitoring.

MIRA Pico Series gas analyzers are based on mid-infrared absorption spectroscopy, providing high sensitivity and specificity. Compared to near-infrared absorption-based analyzers currently on the market, MIRA mid-infrared analyzers enable the same absorption to be obtained in a much shorter path length. This eliminates the need for fragile, high reflectivity optics in the sensor core, making MIRA analyzers 100x less susceptible to optical contamination than analyzers based on “cavity-enhanced” approaches.

• The proprietary sensor engine used in every analyzer uniquely achieves a long absorption path length in an extremely small volume, providing ultra-high sensitivity and a fast response time with reduced pumping requirements
• Analyzers are based on mid-infrared absorption spectroscopy; compared to near-infrared absorption-based analyzers, mid-infrared enables the same absorption to be obtained in a much shorter path length
• Analyzers 100x less susceptible to optical contamination than analyzers based on “cavity-enhanced” approaches
• Higher sensitivity, more robust: 30x higher ethane sensitivity than ABB or Picarro to differentiate natural gas leaks from interferences, both thermogenic and biogenic, reducing false alarms.100x less susceptible to optical contamination compared to ABB/Picarro systems.
• Smaller: 10x smaller and lighter than competing products
• Lower power: 5-10x lower power consumption
• Lower cost: Simplicity of design and fewer components leads to unmatched economies of scale. Presently ½ the price of competing systems, up to 10x lower cost for mobile systems.

• Stationary GHG monitoring: High sensitivity and low cost allow an array of sensors (e.g. one per pad). When coupled with wind speed data and advanced analytics, can pinpoint leak location and size with continuous, autonomous monitoring. High duty cycle and sensitivity provide potential path to discrimination of transients on the wellpad (such as pneumatics) from actual leaks.

• Mobile monitoring: Light weight and low cost makes use in vehicles or drones possible, allowing leak mapping and pipeline inspection. Trigger for utility pipe inspection and replacement. Superior ethane sensitivity (30x) prevents false alarms due to sewer gas, other biogenic sources

• Handheld monitoring: Small size and very high sensitivity allows rapid finding of leaks without false positives
